    Hell was never a thing in the abraham religions in the first place. The closest thing to it Sheol in the old testament, and that’s just what they called the earth you’re buried in.

      Oh I’m aware,

      That’s part of why Orthadox Jews believe only some certain thousands (30k?) of people will go to heaven. But I’m no expert. It’s all shenanigans anyway. Part of my point I suppose. Even by their own logic I’m not interested in what they think the better option for afterlife is… simply because it doesn’t reward by any valid “merit” system. Just “belief” in many cases.

        I was just adding to your points. Tossing in some knowledge for the audience at home.
        Shenanigans is a great word for all of it, i like that.
